Objective: To probe into TCM pattern of primary hyperlipemia and its relationship with gender, age, BMI, laboratory indices such as TC,TG, LDL-C, HDL-C, ApoAI, ApoB of the 120 patients with primary hyperlipemia. Methods: Logistic regression analysis wan used to analyze the associativity of TCM syndrome and objective indexes of primary hyperlipemia. Results: Logistic regression analysis showed that TCM syndromes of primary hyperlipemia had some relation with laboratory indices. Conclusion: TCM syndromes of primary hyperlipemia had some relation with laboratory indices. The lipemia laboratory indices can be one of the objective basis of TCM diagnosis. The main syndromes were stagnation of phlegm-turbid and syndrome of yang deficiency of both of spleen and kidney, the main pathogenesis were deficiency of spleen and kidney, intermingled phlegm and blood stasis. The main treatment methods were invigorating spleen and tonifying kidney, supplementing qi and nourishing heart, promoting blood flow and dissipating phlegm.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the therapeutic effects of Yiqi Sanju Formula (YQSJF), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, in treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS: Sixty-seven patients diagnosed with NAFLD were randomly divided into two groups: YQSJF-treated group (39 cases) and placebo group (28 cases). The NAFLD patients in the two groups were treated with YQSJF and placebo respectively for 3 months. Clinical symptoms, the CT ratio of liver-spleen, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA2-IR) and the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) were evaluated before and after treatment. RESULTS: After treatment, the clinical symptoms were improved and the levels of BMI, waist circumference, HOMA2-IR, ALT, AST, TG and TC were decreased significantly in the YQSJF-treated group (P<0.05). The CT ratio of liver-spleen in the YQSJF-treated group was increased significantly as compared with the placebo group (P<0.01).

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of Pollen Typhae total flavones (PTF) on expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) mRNA and protein secretion in C2C12 cell strain of skeletal muscle cells cultured with palmitate, and to explore the mechanism of PTF in relieving insulin resistance (IR). METHODS: The IR of C2C12 cells was induced by co-culturing with palmitate. The C2C12 cells were divided into normal control group, untreated group, PDTC (a nuclear factor-kappaB inhibitor) treated group, rosiglitazone (ROS)-treated group, ROS+ PDTC-treated group, PTF-treated group and PTF+PDTC-treated group. Sixteen hours after culture, the transportation rate of glucose was observed by (3)H-deoxyglucose uptake method; IL-6 mRNA expression in C2C12 cells was assayed by real time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR), and level of IL-6 protein secretion in culture supernatant was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: Compared with the normal control group, the transportation rate of glucose of cells in untreated group was decreased 30.43% after 16-hour palmitate culture, and was increased 32.39% in the PTF-treated group. Compared with the untreated group, the levels of IL-6 mRNA expression in cells and IL-6 protein secretion in supernatant were significantly decreased in the PTF-treated group (P<0.05). The levels of IL-6 mRNA expression in cells and IL-6 protein secretion in supernatant were increased in PTF+PDTC-treated group as compared with PFT-treated group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: PTF can inhibit the IL-6 mRNA expression and IL-6 protein secretion via nuclear factor-kappaB pathway in C2C12 skeletal muscle cells, which may be one of its mechanisms in relieving inflammation conditions and insulin resistance in C2C12 skeletal muscle cells.

Objective To explore the distribution characteristics and drug resistance of 267 strains of pathogenic bacteria in the intensive care unit.Methods 180 specimens sent for examination from 180 patients admitted to the intensive care unit of Yiwu Central Hospital who developed hospital-acquired infections from January 2021 to November 2023 were collected,and the sites of infection and the sources of specimens of patients with hospital-acquired infections were counted.The distribution characteristics of the patient's protozoa were analyzed,and the drug resistance of major Gram-positive bacteria(Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis)and Gram-negative bacteria(Escherichia coli,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and Klebsiella pneumoniae)was analyzed in combination with drug sensitivity assessment results.Results Among the 180 patients with hospital-acquired infections,pulmonary and urinary tract infections accounted for a relatively high proportion,and sputum and urine specimens accounted for a relatively high proportion of the samples submitted for examination.180 specimens were cultured for pathogenic bacteria and 267 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected,of which Gram-positive bacteria accounted for 29.59%,Gram-negative bacteria accounted for 67.04%,and fungi accounted for 3.37%.From 2021 to 2023,the detection rates of Gram-positive bacteria and fungi showed an increasing trend,and Gram-negative bacteria detection rates showed a decreasing trend.Staphylococcus aureus had high sensitivity to linezolid and Staphylococcus epidermidis had high sensitivity to moxifloxacin and linezolid.Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa had high sensitivity to piperacillin/tazobactam,and Klebsiella pneumoniae had high sensitivity to cotrimoxazole,imipenem,and piperacillin/tazobactam.Conclusion The distribution of pathogenic bacteria in patients with hospital-acquired infections admitted to the intensive care unit mainly consisted of Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and Escherichia coli,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and Klebsiella pneumoniae,and there were varying degrees of resistance to antimicrobial drugs.The subsequent selection of clinical drugs should be cautious,and antimicrobials with high sensitivity should be prioritized.
